My moms visit: Second Week

 So mom has officially been here 10 days.  She says she is loving her trip, and  enjoying the island.  She is constantly trying to decide which house she would like to move in to in the future, so I would say she likes it. 
She has let me cook exactly one meal, and will never let me cook again.  I made pasta with vodka sauce, chicken, and some veggies.  She ate the smallest portion i would allow, and has forced us out to dinner since, I think she was trying to tell me something :).  Sean and I thought it was amazing, but oh well, I would love to see her try to cook something better.  Anyways, the bread next to the meal was made by our wonderful plumbers so my mom could try the local bread.  It was amazing!  And I thought my meal was a nice balanced creation.
 I took her on a tour of the school last week, and after the tour we went out to the cliffs.  Here she is! 
 The next day, my mom treated us to a spa day at Laluna hotel.  She thought she could google maps us to the hotel, so I took her word on how to get there and just drove.  It turns out the road google maps sent us down did not actually take us to the hotel, but dead ended, so we ended up having to walk along the beach.  It was a pretty walk at least! Here is the beach we walked along.
 And the pretty cliffs which surrounded the beach.
 Here is the beautiful shower at the spa.  A bit of luxury is very exciting for me here!  Look at that shower head! And they had real hot water!
 And here is the light fixtures.  The lizard seems to fit in doesn't he!

 Isn't he cute!?
 Here is a view of the spa.  You can see my mom drinking her new favorite tea.  It is water boiled with ginger root, and then honey added at the end.  Sean and mom are addicted! 
And a view of the landscape.  Very pretty.

    I love that they had "real hot water" because I know exactly what you mean!
